A couple stand on the top of a hill in Saltburn and watch the sunrise on the morning of the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2022 in Saltburn By The Sea, England. The winter solstice marks the date when the Earth’s axis rotates to the point that the north pole has its maximum tilt from the sun, delivering the shortest period of daylight in the year. While it is considered to be the first day of the astronomical winter season it can also be known as midwinter, because the days get longer after it has passed and the countdown to spring begins.
